Entire liberation war history lost!

Twenty years ago we reported that 25 filing cabinets and 20 steel trunks full of ZIPRA documents had gone missing.  Former ZAPU officials, including Dumiso Dabengwa who has now revived ZAPU, have been reluctant to talk about this and about ZIPRAproperties which we understand were handed back to ZAPU. Read our story of November 1992 and perhaps those in the know could shed some light into whether these documents were ever recovered or not? Anyone with new information should email the editor at charlesrukuni@insiderzim.com.
